Jim McDermott can go to Iraq, call our president a liar, state that he trusts the enemy's dictator more than our own leader, and not be guilty of treason, but someone flying a Confederate flag in our country could be. Do you know how f*ing stupid this sounds to a reasonable person?

You confuse the issues of treason with criticizing your president. Under a democracy, criticizing one's president is not considered an act of treason but rather a right that should be exercised if one believes the president is not doing right by the country.

However, flying the flag of a country that opposes the views of your own country may be considered an act of treason under certain circumstances.
